Friends & Teammates,
Road Racers, Time Trialists
and all Cyclists

We have a wonderful opportunity to bring a United States National Cycling Championship to our region if we act immediately!

USA Cycling is seeking a new venue for the 2002 Masters National Track Championships. These events were to have been held August 6-11 at the "Superdrome" in Frisco, TX, but because of problems that cannot be repaired in time the venue must be changed.

One of the sites under consideration is the Washington Park Velodrome in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This track is the oldest velodrome in the United States and is celebrating its 75th year of continuous racing. Washington Park Velodrome has in the past hosted numerous national championships for juniors, collegiate, elite and masters riders over its long history. Many national and world champions, record holders, Olympians, and other distinguished riders have competed at this track.

I am making a personal appeal to everyone in this e-mail to ask for your immediate support in bringing this event to this area. Whether you are currently a track cyclist or a masters (30+) competitor or not has no relevance. It is an opportunity to see some of the best cyclists in the US compete for the honor of wearing the "Stars & Stripes" jersey and being crowned the US National Champion.

The decision of where this event will be hosted will be made by next weekend!
Here is what we need to do:
